Today we recognise International Missing Children’s Day (25 May), honouring children who have been safely located, remembering those harmed by crime, and reaffirming our commitment to those still missing.
Each year in Australia, police receive more than 50,000 missing persons reports, with over half involving young people aged 13–17. While most are found quickly, for those who remain missing the impact on families and communities is lasting.
This year’s theme, Interrupted Futures, reminds us that when a child goes missing, a life—and a future—is put on hold. Every minute matters.
